Seagal has been a Reserve Deputy Chief in the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff's Office. In the late 1980s, after teaching the deputies martial arts, unarmed combat, and marksmanship, then-sheriff Harry Lee (1932–2007) was so impressed that he asked Seagal to join the force. Seagal allegedly graduated from a police academy in Los Angeles over twenty years ago and has a certificate from Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST), an organization that accredits California police officers. However, POST officials in California and Louisiana have no record of Seagal being certified, and Seagal's rank in Louisiana is therefore ceremonial. Meaning he's not a real police officer. It's like a honorary doctorate.

Owning bakeries, mines, farms, myspace etc. hardly counts as having a side job. They are investments, and I bet they have people doing all the work for them. It's like putting money in the bank and claiming earning interest is a job.
